Drivechain would have prevented the block size wars as well.
You could keep the main chain block size unchained and you could have a sidechain with a bigger block size.
Drivechain has been around since 2015 for people to try on test net.

Yea but I would think there's a good reason we didn't rely on testnet to validate segwit. Maybe my reasoning is flawed, fair enough, but I think its worth exploring.
I just think this “test on litecoin” is ja pointless step to implement to btc core.
1) it’s a waste of time and dev resources
2) litecoin dev community is non-existent so unlikely will get any adoption
3) why would bitcoiners add code improvements to litecoin and make litecoin more competitive just to prove bitcoiners its valueable.
I think bitcoin community overestimate how popular bitcoin is. Bitcoin adoption is a still very small despite how mainstream btc has become in recent years in the financial world.
At the end of day my opinion very little because I am not btc core dev. 😂
1. It could be a waste if there's better ways to go about it, on the other hand if its effective and a battle tested way of building consensus then its not a waste.
2. Makes it easier to stick our fingers in and push some code on them I hope.
3. I'm not worried about a litecoin takeover, they could always copy our code anyways since we are so close so it can't be avoided, and its like worrying that a new copper mint will decrease peoples desire for gold. We are already breaching into the conscious of people as an alternative to the USD v. BRICS, I think we are past needing to worry about any other PoW token.
same, not a dev, more commenting from a cultural standpoint, I’ve been told to care abt drive chains for years and that alone is not compelling enough reason to adopt anything
no skin in test net
